No wheat or Dairy

[KnottedYet]

I have celiac (genetic autoimmune disease triggered by gluten proteins). I get a variety of rather disgusting/ugly-looking /painful symptoms if I run across wheat, oats, barley or rye. I'm sensitive enough that drinking one normal beer made of barley and wheat can make me suffer for a week. Licking the adhesive (made from wheat) on an envelope can give me tongue sores for days. "Cheating" on my gluten free diet has absolutely no appeal to me, as it isn't worth the price.

Lactose is also a problem for me (though relatively minor), and it is often part of celiac disease. I can eat cheese and yogurt just fine, but not milk or ice cream or other dairy that hasn't had the lactose digested by some bacterial culture.

Perhaps your chiro has the celiac wheat/dairy link in mind, but if there is a chance you have celiac you should really see a gastroenterologist before you make any dietary changes. Do you have symptoms of celiac? (diarrhea, bloating, gas, osteopenia, eczema, mouth and tongue sores, peripheral neuropathy, anemia, low blood B12, blood sugar issues, thyroid problems, and so on. see my sig line for one celiac site)
